25 Words for Oct 2009

Here's a writing exercise that I like from my Brown Bag group. It's called "Twenty-five Words." The object is to try to write a children's short story or picture book using as many of the twenty-five words (or short phrases) as possible. This is also a timed prompt, so set your timer for 20 or 30 minutes and then begin.

Here are this month's words:

Back again
Gusty
Sparkles
Night sky
Toad
Lobster
Ham-bone
Pickles
Long
Fuzzy
Gum
And then...
Never
Ker-pow!
Poo
Whooo
No owls here
Creek
Crackle
Spark
Hot
Sleepy
Original
Splat
Forever
